Cesspools In Eden

歌詞

Poison is bubbling beneath your dream home Buried there years before Kid runs in crying from playing in the garden "Mommy, I burned my hands" What's making our eyes so itchy? Don't rub 'em, they'll swell up Oh, it's a big waste dump Oh yeah, oh yeah We built your ticky-tacky houses on landfill soil To cover up a gift we left you years before Of toxic chemicals and leaking gas Just dig a little while, you'll find our acid baths Cesspools in Eden Oozing away Groundwater's poisoned, air stings like hell The lines for doctors grow long Over martinis the company laughs We don't owe you a damn thing But what about all these fainting spells? How'd you like a lick from my open sores? And oh, why are our babies stillborn? Oh yeah, oh yeah A storage tank's leaking, it's about to explode Why evacuate when you can watch the fun? Nothing happens here, get out the lawn chairs We'll drink pink lemonade and watch Martinez burn Cesspools in Eden Oozing away Leak by the day The land we sold you is right atop our acid pits We fill them by the truckload in the dead of night There's a thousand more toxic tips of the iceberg We pay a little bribe or we just don't report them And see what you get? Cesspools in Eden, in Eden No accident Just a little of our greed-fueled negligence So you've found the proof why your cancer rate's shot up What are you gonna do when we've got all the cards? Times Beach, Rocky Flats, Love Canal and Bhopal Merry Christmas, hostages, from the folks that care Cesspools In Eden (x4) Have a nice day
